The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry issued a statement calling on Belarus to refrain from “unfriendly actions” and withdraw its troops from the border.
The Foreign Ministry reported that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, the Belarusian armed forces, under the guise of exercises, are concentrating a significant number of personnel, in particular Special Operations Forces, weapons and military equipment, including tanks, artillery, MLRS, air defense systems and engineering equipment, in the Gomel region. The presence of mercenaries of the former PIK Wagner was also recorded.
“Conducting exercises in the border zone and in close proximity to the nuclear power facility, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, creates threats to the national security of Ukraine and global security in general,” the ministry emphasized.
The Foreign Ministry called for the withdrawal of Belarusian troops “from the state border of Ukraine to a distance that exceeds the range of the existing fire systems in Belarus.”
The department assured that Ukraine “has never taken and does not intend to take any unfriendly actions against the Belarusian people” and emphasized that if Minsk violates the Ukrainian border, our state “will take all necessary measures in order to implement the right to self-defense guaranteed by the UN Charter.”
“At the same time, all troop concentrations, military facilities and supply routes on the territory of Belarus will be legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the Foreign Ministry statement said.
The Prosecutor General has notified the current Ukrainian MP of suspicion on charges of a group of individuals attacking a law enforcement officer and a military officer, attempting to steal a firearm, causing moderate bodily harm to the victim, and hooliganism. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
The Office of the Prosecutor General noted that the suspect is summoned to the State Investigative Bureau for investigative and procedural actions: by 10:00 on August 29, 2024 and by 10:00 00 on August 30, 2024.
